Pokémon Battle Frontier

Shiranui was contestant #12. He sent his Manectric out and had her use Electric Terrain to electrify the stage. Manectric launched a combination of Electro Ball and Thunder Wave that formed a plasma ball-like effect. Manectric finished the appeal by mega evolving and using Thunder to strike the Electro Ball with lightning, making it explode into electric sparkles that made vertical arcs with the Electric Terrain. The stage had a smell of ozone after that display.

"What an electrifying display."
"Manectric is remarkable!"
"Your Manectric is exceptionally trained through the fact our hair stayed down."

Shiranui was tied with Liam in the scores.

Shiranui registered as well. Before he entered the green room, he sent Zoro and Majin out and gave them a mission to procure a Porygon. He gave a note to Majin with "連結網" written on it, saying that would be the nickname he would give it. In the green room, he placed some seals on his capsules and polished the Poké Balls of the Pokémon he picked out.

"The only way to get one here is to win one and Zoro can do that with a little help from Majin," stated Shiranui, "That can be done while we compete in the contest."

"Maybe so, but Scott has never met a ninja," replied Shiranui with determination in his voice, "One skill the ninja are well known for is espionage and it may be time I add to my tools of the trade." He had realised his methods may be considered old-school and thus needed to adapt to the modern world. He opened his Pokédex and accessed the entry he had in mind.
"Porygon, the Virtual Pokémon. A Pokémon that consists entirely of programming code. It is capable of moving freely in cyberspace."

Shiranui was also pondering about the contest. "I can't get any research on the Battle Factory," he stated, feeling a little frustrated, "Either Scott has yet to upload a guide for it or it's on the Deep Web."

Shiranui saw Titania with a Master Ball in her hand. "I needed someone that understood Smaug's pain so I called out the very Pokémon you captured in this mountain to have a little chat with him," stated Titania before Shiranui could ask. He smiled and Titania read a mental reminder for him to give Saisei a Poké Puff. The Gardevoir gave Saisei's Master Ball back to Shiranui and Shiranui stowed the ball in a safe spot in his bag.
"Titania, return!" He recalled his Gardevoir and resumed his trek through Mt. Moon, following Smaug.

"I'm for it," answered Shiranui.

"That's a great move for you, Smaug," commented Saisei, "Great for those pesky Rock and Fairy-types. I can do that as well."

"Your trainer will be happy to know that once you show him," replied Saisei with a smile.

"They're little cakes that improve a Pokémon's affection towards their trainer and help the Eevee species evolve into Sylveon," Saisei explained, "Pokémon with high affection can avoid incoming moves better and have a higher chance of landing a hit right where it hurts."
